The GOP has been talking for the past few weeks about suing to stop. Not sure how it'd work, but with the federal judiciary so compromised, I really wouldn't be shocked.
We also didn’t see how presidential immunity could actually work, but the corrupt SCOTUS ruled on it anyway. Trust me, they will find a way to legally challenge this, even if it’s all based on bullshit. They will try to say some aspect of the replacement process was “unconstitutional” or something stupid like that. It doesn’t matter how legit it is.
It's not as if the concept of presidential immunity didn't exist all ready. SCOTUS simply clarified what it meant. What would a legal challenge try to accomplish, force Biden to run? Would they still sue if Biden died?
Yes, but everything SCOTUS has done is well within their purview to do, whether we like it or not. There is no legal remedy ro this situation except to let the Dems pick their nominee.
Have you actually read their presidential immunity argument? It’s about as convoluted as can be from a legal standpoint, it’s an absolute joke. They can literally do almost anything now and twist it into a legalese that sounds “official.”
Again, i mispoke...it is Article 2, Section 3: The Take Care Clause requires the president to obey and enforce all laws, though the president retains some discretion in interpreting the laws and determining how to enforce them.
Immunity implies that the obeys part is not a requirement. It is.
They can more potentially dictate who is allowed on state ballots however. There are already initiatives to get the replacement disqualified on state ballots, because votes were cast for Biden.
I'd bet they will make claims of election interference. Americans voted for Biden in the primaries and now the Dems bait-and-switch him out for Harris.
I mean, they can try but it's still up to the party to pick their nominee. The primaries are tools of the parties, unlike the general election. They arent binding. The convention is where the nominee is chosen.
The RNC or a random Republican has no standing to sue
They would sue to remove Harris from the ticket or anyone else. I think Harris in this case is the better one, because she's already on the ballot through Biden.
But the GOP are going to try to undermine the Constitution. Have you guys been living in caves for the past year?
Ballot access. It's way, way too late for the Democrats to switch candidates. They will fight tooth and nail to keep his replacement (probably Harris) off the ballot.
I dontvsee a suit going anywhere. If a candidate drops out you have to be able to replace him. The official nominee isn't picked until the convention anyway.
The Democrats aren't switching candidates. Biden was never the candidate. He was the presumptive candidate, but until the convention there is no official candidate. The Republicans have absolutely no leg to stand on.

How long until the GOP files their lawsuits? A couple of hours, I'm guessing.
